Macro Mondays Theme: (Part of) My Daily Routine
Part of my daily routine is reading books before bed. Before children I used to read a lot but this went by the wayside after having them as I was just too tired, especially the twins! As the children got older it took me longer to get to sleep. However my husband would be out like a light when his head hit the pillow and then start snoring. There was I struggling to sleep with the noise!! It took me a while to realise that if I started to read right before bed again that I would be more relaxed and ready for sleep. So now this is my daily routine so that I manage to get to sleep before him so the snoring doesn't bother me!! My other routine captured in the photo is in the background. I'm a stay at home mum so I wanted to keep my mind active with free brain games on Lumosity. What I like is there are only 3 a day to play so it doesn't take long, but it's definitely benefited my memory and attention.
Looking forward to seeing and reading about your daily routines. HMM to one and all and appreciate all your comments and favourites.
I am part of Norio's routine in the sense he has to sit on my lap several times a day for affection and warmth. Which raises a question: when did my head get so shiny?
one of the things I always miss after a cruise, is starting my day off logging some track and gym time... all while looking at the gorgeous ocean!
NASA’s Operation IceBridge collected some rare images on a flight out of Punta Arenas, Chile on Nov. 5, 2014, on a science flight over western Antarctica dubbed Ferrigno-Alison-Abbott 01. Following a routine calibration pass over Punta Arenas airport, the NASA DC-8 overflew the USS Constellation which is being towed for demolition after 53 yeas of service. The crew then snapped a few shots of a calving front of the Antarctic ice sheet. This particular flight plan was designed to collect data on changes in ice elevation along the coast near the Ferrigno and Alison ice streams, on the Abbot Ice Shelf, and grounded ice along the Eights Coast.

Every day I read in the evening. I sit in my zero-gravity chair next to my wife's red-leather topped desk.
This is my red bound edition of The Lord of the Rings which I have just finished again (I don't know how many times I have read it but every 6-12 months I read The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings again - must be over 20 times now).

"La P'tite Scène Qui Bouge"

"Pouvoir côte à côté
Avancer sans douter
Rire, danser, chanter et
Toujours l'un l'autre se pousser
En avant, plus loin
Ne jamais se laisser tomber
Avec la certitude
Indiscutable de
Rêver ensemble
Encore et pour longtemps."

Sadie contemplates her food bowl while the others watch me for any sign of capitulation.
My only complaint about Sadie, and considering she is just 3 months shy of her seventeenth birthday it’s a small complaint, is that she is a very finicky eater. I probably worry about it or cater to her more than I should, I mean by this time in her life I’m sure she knows when she needs to eat or not.
I typically pull a gate across the doorway there, but sometimes if I open the gate and she observes the vultures about to circle her food bowl that provides an added incentive for her to eat. Sometimes. The others here have not eaten breakfast yet, which they will get once Sadie finishes, or doesn’t, and they will all eat out in the dog yard. Sadie will go out to supervise that as well…. I don’t know if it is a ritual, a routine, or a circus, but it’s a scene that gets repeated everyday, twice a day.
Lenore and I have a very familiar mantra here, and it goes like this, "Sadie..... EAT!"
Reading has always been an important part of my day. Sometimes, the reading is connected with the writing I do to earn a living. The company that publishes the two books in this photo pays me on a per-project basis to write digests of cases and articles to update the books. I work from home.
PS: It would have been more honest, perhaps, to have shown the trashy novels I read often in lieu of watching television (which I dislike), but I couldn't resist the flashy red, black, and gold of these bindings.

The photograph captures the rhythmic dance of waves crashing onto the rocky shoreline of Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean converge. The foamy surf surges forward, washing over the dark, weathered stones before receding, leaving behind a glistening trail of salt and sand. The golden hues of the setting sun cast a warm glow over the waters, blending seamlessly into the vast horizon.
In the background, the iconic Vivekananda Rock Memorial stands proudly on a small island, a tribute to the philosopher Swami Vivekananda, who meditated here in 1892 before spreading his teachings across the world. To the side, the towering statue of Tamil poet and saint Thiruvalluvar rises against the sky, symbolizing wisdom and virtue. The region itself carries immense historical and cultural significance, once serving as a vital maritime hub for ancient trade routes connecting India to Rome and Southeast Asia. Legends also associate Kanyakumari with Goddess Devi Kanya Kumari, believed to be an incarnation of Parvati, who stands as a divine guardian of the land.
The waves, relentless yet serene, echo the spirit of Kanyakumari—an eternal meeting point of cultures, history, and natural beauty.
Sometimes we eat not because we are hungry, it's just part of the daily routine...

Ben preparing to put ylang ylang essential oil combined with carrier oil on me. This has become part of my daily routine—every 2 hours while I’m awake we apply essential oil to me in order to help with my trauma response and mental health symptoms. The symptoms are so intense and debilitating and can become life threatening. While essential oils don’t completely take the symptoms away or “cure” me they do help me to be able to cope. I’m so thankful this has become a part of my routine as it is helpful and familiar so it helps to create a sense of safety. I am thankful for Ben’s willingness and persistence in making sure he helps to care for me by reminding me to use essential oils throughout each day and helping with the process—left to myself I’d probably decide I’m not worth it and skip the oils—I’m thankful for Ben’s support in this.
